Donald Trump is still a Birther

Last night Donald Trump held a townhall meeting. Someone in the crowd said President Obama was a Muslim. Trump did not correct the potential voter, but why would he? Trump is a birther and apparently some of his followers are too. Trump will get a little heat from the media but that’s it. He won’t correct or apologize because that is not his brand. On to the next faux outrage.

The Republican Party is partly responsible for feeding fodder to racists. Not one of the candidates on the stage could set the record straight. Yes, America has a problem, but it is not Muslims. The problem is racism and xenophobia and it is causing friction. If President Obama were Muslim it should not be a problem. But Trump is cheerleader to the disenfranchised and racist. The more he screams, the more people he gathers. But they are all going in the WRONG DIRECTION.

I noticed that you turned off the comment that I submitted on your Hillary Clinton post. It’s really rich of you to delay posting many of my comments and now outright refusal to post my comments. I’m sure you have noticed that the interactivity here is almost non existent. I have continued to comment on your blog as a measure of support. It’s unfortunate that your bias has alienated most of your previous commenters and now your lack of objectivity has evolved into censorship.

Bill over the years I have posted your comments even though we rarely agree. I have tried to be fair but you are not being fair the fact is I have been busy promoting my book and in some cases I have not posted as fast as I have done in years pass. I also do not post as often as I have in the past. I do want to keep posting and discussing the 2016 race but there will be times that I don’t get the comments up immediately and in some cases it could be days. So let’s just get this straight it is not censorship it is simply busy. I have enjoyed your comments over the years and I hope you continue to read and comment but please don’t accuse me of something that I am not doing.
